Pros

Good benefits, good pay, lots of available options.

Cons

It is very feature centric rather than user centric. Everything is so convoluted and unnecessary complex. It is a top down organization where you got not enough time to even do what you are told to do. There is no room for innovation at all. Everything is about the bottom line and backstabbing to get ahead.

Pros

You'll have the chance to work on some good products with global impact, and there is plenty of opportunity for advancement.

Cons

The benefits are weak since Obamacare. We used to have 100% coverage for all medical expenses, no deductible, no copay, no paycheck deduction. Now we pay over $6k/yr for a family of 4. Some teams are moving to cubicle farms or open work areas instead of the private offices everyone used to have.
